Holiday in Japan

laserlight

Just thought I'd let you guys know I'll be on holiday in Japan for two weeks starting from tonight, so if you find me mysteriously absent, that's why.

Sounds great I always wanted to go there and visit Nagasaki for the historical connection between Nagasaki and my country

Enjoy!

Bring back some Okonomiyaki for all of us 😃

Have some real sushi for me.

Dammit, now I want sushi. 🙁

I'm back! Yes, I ate quite a bit of sushi/sashimi/kaiseki. I did not eat okonomiyaki this time, though I did eat my favourite ramen.

That's probably what you get for eating supermarket sushi outside Japan.

That image was obviously made by someone who's never had good sushi.

All sushi is good :p or hotpot, hotpot is awesome 😃

So my understanding of that graphic was that [font=monospace]small amount of rice = large amount of bread[/font], but I tried that and my sandwich just didn't hold together.

My understanding of the graphic was that some bonehead cannot appreciate that presentation and the dining experience actually matter. Who wants to choke down 6 slices of white bread with some mayo?

My take on it was mainly pointing out that a lot of "sushi" (at least here in the US -- I'm definitely no expert on it) is predominantly white rice, and white rice is predominantly empty calories. Even if that's the case (I don't know, I just saw that image recently and it amused me), by all means enjoy it in moderation, just like everything else that is good but ultimately probably is not necessarily all that good for you.

I'm pretty sure a "good" sushi place gives you more actual tuna and less imitation crab -- but ask if you can have it on brown rice. 😉
